Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She’s made a mistake so huge, it’ll wreck any chance of a partnership.
Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she’s mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as housekeeper. Her employers have no idea they’ve hired a lawyer–and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. She can’t sew on a button, bake a potato, or get the #@%# ironing board to open. How she takes a deep breath and begins to cope–and finds love–is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake.
But will her old life ever catch up with her? And if it does…will she want it back?

I absolutely adore Sophie Kinsella and began reading her books just a few months ago. This book is simply fun and enjoyable to read. She creates female characters who are smart and determined- no weak minded women here!
I will continue to read this author over and over again.

Reading Sophie Kinsella book is always a pleasure. I've always love Sophie Kinsella's style of writing and her sense of humor. And so, I am quite pleased with The undomestic Goddess, despite its limitations as mentioned by other reviewers here and yes, I do agree with many of the reviewers her. I thought the protagonist of the book, Samantha, is not that far from the characters in her other hits like Shopaholic and Can You Keep a Secret. And I think, it is the familiarity of that lovable personality that somewhat draws me to the book. Although I was quite turned off by the idea that such intelligent character could be so clueless about houseworks, Kinsella balances that slightly out of this world features with some realisitic characteristics as well, thus making Samantha an endearing and sympathetic heroine. And as always, Kinsella is also not afraid to write some outrageous scenes as well. Although they are quite over the top, I have to say they are rather entertaining. Hey, it is after all a chick lit: it's light hearted, silly, funny in some parts and most importantly, it made you want to fall in love all over again. What more could you ask? :)

This is my least favorite of all of Sophie Kinsella's books. It is VERY predictable, and as other reviewers have noted, leaves a lot of loose ends, like what happened to the Geigers? The author made it sound like there was something going on with them earlier, but that just dissolves.
Also, this is the very first male love interest out of all of Kinsella's books that I couldn't stand! I was surprised. I couldn't even picture what he looked like in my head, and actually didn't want them to end up together.
It was also lacking in humor. I'd recommend it if you're a big fan of Kinsella's, but if not, don't bother picking it up.

I liked this book very much, but will not give it 5 stars because in my opinion it pales to Kinsellas wonderful Shopaholic books and the glorious Becky Bloomwood. I did think that this story was fun and cute and just what I was looking to read, once again Sophie Kinsella does not disappoint. I love her work.

Samantha is a high powered lawyer who is happily working her way up towards a partnership then everything goes wrong at work and she runs off to the country. She is mistaken for someone applying for a live-in housekeepers job. Samantha needs somewhere to stay and maybe she could hid here for a while. Housework she hates and is not good at.
A funny, romantic, light story. A solicitor client of mine said she had already read it, loved it and loved all of the Sophie Kinsella series.
So even solicitors appreciate this story.
A light sunday afternoon read at the beach or infront of the log fire.
